This is not a great attitude. Get it clear in your mind that you cannot take care of a man financially and choose wisely. I would advise a man to do the same.
That is like saying a man that wants to get married and have kids and have his wife stay home to raise the kids is unlikely to make a wise decision in a partner. Not sure why you think this?

That he knows this is what he wants should make him wiser in his choice.

What then is the point of thinking about it before you get involved? lol!

A man who can't support a stay-at-home wife shouldn't marry a woman unless she brings a hefty settlement into the relationship. A woman who can't support a husband financially should look for a man who is gainfully employed.

It's possible there can be a financial crisis during an existing relationship that makes life uncomfortable and difficult. When two people already love each other, they'll do what it takes to work through that.

Before entering a relationship it's best to look for a partner who meets your financial needs. It's a way to minimize your risk. Why start out with a money problem? Choose wisely.

I am still not sure what you are trying to say.

One, I am not sure why I would ever look for a partner to meet MY financial needs? And two, my original point was that money is not ever a problem for me, whether I have more or less, so at least in my case, I would not be starting out with a money *problem*.

Maybe what you are saying is assume money will always be a problem so don't start with any differences? Not sure but again my point was that I am fluid on this since it just does not matter for me, I don't mind spending more when I have more and I don't mind someone having more than me.
